Moving Announcement

In addition, SIMHC is pleased to announce the start of a new Mental Health Crisis Stabilization and 23 Hour Observation Center. The unit is scheduled to open Monday May 14th, 2018. Crisis Stabilization services are designed for the patient who is in a current state of mental health crisis and is not able to return home, however inpatient level of care may not be appropriate either.

The Board of Directors at SIMHC, along with the SIMHC leadership team, has a vision for a mental health center that is able to offer multiple mental health services at one location, including a full array of crisis services. Offering a greater range of mental health services in one area will allow for a greater ease in transition for patients moving within the treatment continuum.

“This is a very exciting time for SIMHC! We have a real passion for mental health services and for this community. We feel moving into this new space will allow us room to grow and to provide better service for our patients.” Tracy Peden, Finance Director, SIMHC.

Currently, SIMHC provides specialty healthcare, focusing in the treatment of all types of mental illness. SIMHC offers therapy and psychiatry care to children, adolescents and adults. These services are available to all community members regardless of county of residency and SIMHC accepts all pay sources. In addition, SIMHC is the Integrated Health Home (IHH) provider for: Wapello, Davis, Jefferson, Van Buren, Mahaska, Wayne, Lucas, Decatur, Appanoose, Monroe and Keokuk County. IHH is a specialty care coordination service available to some Medicaid members. SIMHC also offers a Peer Run drop in center, The Promise Center, located at 531 Church Street.

“We have a vision for this to be the main hub for mental health services in this community, a place that stands out as a location to receive quality service and is open and inviting to everyone.” Brian Morgan, board member for SIMHC.
